RULES OF THE ORDER

The name of this order is Brothers of the Book.

The purpose of the order is the encouragement of
bookish good-fellowship, and the occasional publi-
cation of a worthy book.

in

The management of the order is vested in the Council,
which consists of the Scrivener, the Artificer, the
Archivist, the Scribes, the Limners, and the Arbiters.

IV

The Council is augmented each year from amongst
those of the brethren who are most active in the
work of the order.

The Scrivener and the Artificer have charge of the
making of the books comprising the publications of
the order, notify the brethren regarding forthcom-
ing publications, and maintain the correspondence
incident thereto.

VI

The Archivist has in his keeping the books, manu-
scripts, and other treasures of the order, guards the
seal and keeps the chronicles of the brotherhood.

VII

The Scribes and the Limners are elected to the Council
from amongst those of the brethren whose good
works are set forth in the publications of the brother-
hood.

The Arbiters are elected to the Council from amongst
those of the brethren who lend their counsel and
advice toward the furtherance of the aims of the
brotherhood.

The Brethren comprise Idealists, Poets, Dreamers,
Bards, Artists, Collectors, Players, and Craftsmen,
all of whom are chosen from amongst good bookish
people.

The publications of the Brothers of the Book are
exclusively for the members of the order, who are,
however, under no obligation to subscribe for issues
except as they individually so elect.

XI

The initiation fee in the order is two dollars. The
brethren also pay yearly dues of one dollar to cover
the cost of year books and membership certificates,
and to meet the expenses, clerical and otherwise,
incident to the printing and mailing of announce-
ments. The dues are payable each year upon
publication of the year book.

XII

And now let it be well and truly known, that no Destroyer
of Ideals, no Disturber of Visions, and no Incono-
clast of any kind shall ever be counted as one of the
Brothers of the Book.

A Chapter on

IDEALS

Wherein the Artificer writes of the principles
which guide the Scrivener and himself in the
preparation of publications intended for the
interest and pleasure of the Brothers of the Book.

IT is difficult to express concretely any
true ideal, that being of the spirit, which
is incommunicable; but perhaps a descrip-
tion of some of our methods, reasons, and
results, may suggest the vision which we
strive to follow. And, to make more clear
the motives which actuate this organization,
it seems well to offer a brief history of its
inception.

In that wonderful decade, the 'nineties,
which was characterized by a renaissance of
all the arts, no one form of endeavor profited
more notably in access of ideals and achieve-
ments than the printed book. Literary
expression grew in grace and beauty, and
methods of illustrative and decorative treat-
ment received many interesting impulses,
but the improvements in typographical ar-
rangement were especially noteworthy. For
many years previous to that period, there
were few printers who made any effort to
instill harmony, dignity, and beauty into
the printed page, but the influence of the
many who strove for better forms of expres-

sion during the 'nineties established standards
which have stimulated a marked improve-
ment in the productions of all progressive
printers since.

It is, perhaps, an open question whether
the more delicate and elaborate cutting of
literary gems demanded added grace in their
settings, or the construction of finer typo-
graphical altars encouraged the creation
of worthier gods of expression for installa-
tion thereon. It is quite possible, also, that
no such question exists, for in our memory
all the arts and crafts went hand in hand
along the high road of endeavor and accom-
plishment. The pioneers of the changes then
effected were, of necessity, extremists, but
all honor is granted to those great spirits who,
'born out of their due time,' still 'strove to
set the crooked straight.' For even the most
extreme of their theories were based upon
definite ideals, while many of their disciples,
wandering far afield, chose rather to follow
eccentricities and mannerisms than to study
the fundamental principles involved. How
shifting were the sands upon which those
followers built is evidenced by the evanescence
of their productions. Of all the private
presses which sprang up, 'abode their little
hour or two, and went their way,' almost
none proved to be more than a passing
indication of youthful enthusiasm; almost
none is remembered except as one discovers,

on dusty shelves, an occasional erratic (and
sometimes erotic) little volume of weird
typography. Of the few workers who founded
their endeavors upon taste and discrimina-
tion, and accomplished worthy results, nearly
all have grown or drifted into other fields, so
there is now an extremely limited number
who have maintained an active interest in
this form of artistic production, or have come
back to it after a period of inactivity.

Among the latter is Laurence C. Wood-
worth, Scrivener of the Brothers of the Book,
who is now continuing the work which he
began in 1898. Impelled by a keen appreci-
ation of beauty in books, he made a study of
printing processes, and applied them to
the production of dignified and conservative
forms. His discriminating taste in literary
selections is best evidenced by the list of
those early publications given later in this
year book. They were issued from Gouver-
neur, New York (then the home of the
Scrivener), during the years 1898 to 1901,
and comprised twelve titles, all of which
have long since been out of print. These
issues were keenly appreciated by collectors,
and a complete set is now very rare.

(It may be of passing interest to note that,
at about the same time the Scrivener was
finding his work and laying the foundation
of the present organization, in northern
New York, the Artificer was making some

small attempts on the Pacific Coast, though
he must admit that they were of the ephem-
eral type of individualism run riot already
mentioned.)

The Scrivener followed the typical plan
of privately printed editions, and, as he
preferred to submerge his own individuality,
he chose the title of Brothers of the Book
for his title-page imprint. This indicated an
association of kindred spirits who enjoyed
his efforts, and while there was, at that time,
no definite organization such as has since been
formed, the basic principle of fellowship
was the same, and it is on that principle that
the Brothers of the Book is founded.

After the early years of endeavor, business
activities and the wane of public interest
combined to interfere with continued pub-
lishing efforts, but the bookish enthusiasm
remained. So, in the Spring of 1912, Oppor-
tunity presided at the renaissance of that
'vita nova1 which is ours who live with books
and ideals. At that time the plan of perman-
ent organization was devised, the Council
established, and membership offered to those
who manifest a spirit of accord with the
rules and activities of the order. The asso-
ciation has received marked recognition
among those who know and love good books,
and has grown steadily in numbers, as witness
the lists of council and members.

Coming now to a consideration of our
ideals, the following statements present our
theories and desires, most of which, by force
of circumstance, have never been fully met.
That being granted, there remain unlimited
opportunities for future accomplishment.

The selection of literary matter for our
publications is largely decided by the Scriven-
er's personal taste. The early issues were
an expression of his bookish enthusiasm, and,
as such, were individual in their intention
and development. The same plan obtains
in the present organization. The subject-
matter of the publications is unlimited in
scope, and may range from the light and

frivolous to the serious and important

but always must pass the test of being dis-
tinctly worth while. There is no desire to
attach undue emphasis to literary style,
per se, and it is quite certain that our pub-
lications will never be issued as propaganda
of any theory or 'movement.' Choice tends
toward such items as expressa kindly gracious-
ness, a fantastic delicacy, or a spirit of clever
fooling. Preference attaches to original work
by members of the brotherhood, with an
occasional reprint when some worthy sub-
ject is brought to light, the desire being to
seek in the byways of literature for those
'little things' of literary excellence which are
enjoyed by the few.

In selecting materials and arranging typo-
graphical details, we aim to present the spirit
of the writing in a simple, appropriate form.
Obviously, the first requisite of any book is
that it shall be easily and conveniently read.
Any volume which is lacking in either of
these essentials falls just so far short of per-
fect beauty. All the details which create the
form of a book should balance and harmonize
with each other and with the subject, so that
the volume is a unit, rather than a collection
of parts. Those details are so closely related,
and their influence, each upon all, so exacting,
that their combination must be guided by
a comprehensive plan of treatment. Some-
times this is suggested by a national or
historical quality in the literary matter, or
a certain period may be indicated. When
there is not a definite impulse of that nature,
arrangement becomes a matter of individual
interpretation. For example, The Squire's
Recipes reflects the period of the original
volume, or, if that original be questioned,
the time and place in which it was supposed
to have been printed. Differently, in Peter
and the Fairies, the delicacy of theme and
treatment is expressed in size, shape, and
binding, with a simple type- and page-
arrangement.

The close relation of details makes it
difficult to consider them separately, though
each has its own points of interest. The

paper used in our publications is invariably
hand-made, not for the mere fact that it is
made by hand, but because that process and
the excellent materials used insure its per-
manency. Also the aesthetic qualities of
its surface and texture are peculiarly attract-
ive. Upon the selection of paper depends
the size and shape of the volume, which are
naturally influenced by the amount of matter
to be included, and the form of page most
appropriate. (It is our usual fate to desire
a size and shape which cannot be derived
from any available size of paper, and we
suffer recurrent disappointments when we
may only approximate the exact measure-
ments that seem most desirable.) Color and
texture, also, often play an important part
in carrying out a scheme of interpretation.

The choice of type is at once the most
important and most difficult of all the ques-
tions involved. The first requisite is legi-
bility. The fact that words are printed to be
read demands that they be presented in a
form easiest for reading. Some type-faces,
in which each letter is graceful, when consid-
ered alone, are readable only by more or
less effort when combined in a solid page.
Notable examples of these are the text-
or black-letter forms, and, in somewhat
less degree, those designs which show a
marked contrast between extra heavy major
strokes and unduly thinned minor lines.

Experiment and custom have proven the
lighter faces of Roman letter to be more
generally satisfactory under all reading con-
ditions. Of these, we consider most desir-
able the Caslon design and the form known
as French Oldstyle. Some of the more
modern types are not exactly undesirable,
but they lack the freedom and graceful pro-
portions of the earlier patterns. The Caslon
letter is unquestionably satisfactory for any
page, and its use is always acceptable. French
Oldstyle, on the other hand, while never
objectionable, is, because of its grace and
delicacy of form and proportion, peculiarly
appropriate for matter which is marked by
a discriminative literary style. Black-letter
is, by the very principles of its design, not easily
read, and therefore is seldom used, except
for 'page-appearance,' which will be men-
tioned later, or to indicate a mediaeval
quality. In brotherhood publications it
has consistently been avoided, with the ex-
ception of our latest issue, The Vision of
Anton, where availability and the period
of the tale combined to suggest its use. But
that suggestion, plausible as it was, would
have received scant consideration if the
story had been longer, so that eyes would
have tired before the end.

Page-arrangement has been the subject of
much study, and there have been some
attempts to establish fixed rules, with only

partial success. The arrangement of every
book is a separate problem, which can be
solved only by the application of general
principles and good taste to that particular
case. Pages may not be planned singly,
but in pairs, since it is the open book in the
hand which must be considered. The inner
margins should be as narrow as may be with-
out carrying the edge of the type-page into
the curve of the back, so that the eye need
travel only the shortest possible distance
from the bottom of one page to the top of
the next. The bottom margin should be
large enough to allow the thumb to hold the
book securely without covering any words.
The top and side margins adjust themselves
naturally, by the exercise of taste, to fair
proportions with the others, as established.
The measurements of these margins, and their
relation to the paper- and type-pages, are
properly relative to the color value of the
type-page and the shape of the paper-page,
the sizes of each also being factors. By
'color value' is meant the average gray pro-
duced by the combination of black letters
on white paper, within the boundaries of the
type-page. To a craftsman in typography,
there is a certain temptation toward the use
of black-letter, for the one reason that a solid
type-page of heavy color value makes a
beautiful appearance when carefully placed
on a well-proportioned page. But the stand-

ard of legibility, so necessary in selecting
a type-face, obtains in this as well, and we
believe that no one is justified in sacrificing
that legibility for the sake of appearance.

Selection and arrangement of binding
material and form are largely matters of
individual taste. It is sometimes logical to
indicate a contemporary binding, when the
content makes a definite suggestion. This
has already been mentioned in connection
with The Squire's Recipes. For Peter and the
Fairies, however, the selection of binding
was entirely an aesthetic matter.

It has been the intention, in this article,
to avoid technicalities, to convey some infor-
mation of what we have done, and how, and
why, and perhaps to suggest some of our
hopes for the future. These aspirations are
too many to mention, but chief est of them
is a desire that the publications to come may
bring to the Brothers of the Book some of
the keen interest and pleasure that is ours
in their making.
